Patrick O'Bryan, 1982 Fiat Spider

Name: Patrick O'Bryan
Vehicle: 1982 Fiat Spider
Engine: 4 cylinder, DOHC, 1995cc
Injection: Bosch FI (was) driving 4, 178cc/m port injectors, Magnetti Marelli electronic ignition (until I can get one of the programmable systems going). I am currently running a second HEI module in parallel to the stock ignition for a clean tach signal to MegaSquirt. Kept Bosch sensors and original harness (followed Alan's wire guide).
Description: Well, I finally overcame all issues (equipment and self-inflicted) and got the Fiat Spider running. It idles pretty good (a little rich) and runs pretty well but still needs to be dialed in a bit (leaning out on acceleration). Thanks all who offered suggestions.
